I've got joy now -- X protocols working *BUT*

[Bruce Korb]

*BUT* for reasons that I find unfathomable, I have to have my
xterm open for an hour or so before X applications work.

When I first started a particular terminal session, I got this:

> $ labconsole 043
> xterm -T "S043-1 via telnet bignts17 5010" -e telnet bignts17 5010
> xterm -T "S043-2 via telnet bignts17 5011" -e telnet bignts17 5011
> xterm -T "S043-3 via telnet bignts17 5012" -e telnet bignts17 5012
> X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
>   Major opcode of failed request:  55 (X_CreateGC)
>   Resource id in failed request:  0x1a6
>   Serial number of failed request:  1
>   Current serial number in output stream:  3
<<<message repeats several more times>>>
==============
An hour later on the same session:
> $ labconsole 043
> xterm -T "S043-1 via telnet bignts17 5010" -e telnet bignts17 5010
> xterm -T "S043-2 via telnet bignts17 5011" -e telnet bignts17 5011
> xterm -T "S043-3 via telnet bignts17 5012" -e telnet bignts17 5012
> xterm -T "S043-4 via telnet bignts17 5013" -e telnet bignts17 5013
> xterm -T "S043-5 via telnet bignts17 5014" -e telnet bignts17 5014
> $ 

OK.  Whatever.  I'll just have to be patient.  Sure seems weird to me.
Thank you.  Regards, Bruce
